But he wants to debate Christian Theism versus Scientology. And then the fool declares victory when a bunch of atheists show up and point out how ridiculous his suggested debate is. BTW, I don't mean fool in the negative sense, but more as a court jester... who says absurd things and pretends to be a true believer in said absurd things.

Unfortunately, people realize he isn't serious and the absurdity isn't particularly funny, so he won't get any decent serious responses. But I am sure he will make due without them.

Well, hell then.

I still want to debate Scientology with someone. That shit's hilarious.

The only thing funnier than Scientology is that there are people out there who believe in Scientology.

I've read up about Scientology and the refutations of it and find the whole belief system really funny.

What are your qualifications for defending it? Tom Cruise sneaking into your room at night doesn't count.

It doesn't take a whole lot to refute the claims of Scientology. Way to chicken out of your debate challenge.

You got a PhD in how people's problems are due to a galactic overlord blowing folks up in volcanos with nuclear weapons and their ghosts hanging around? I wouldn't want to toot my own horn about that either.

I only thought Marty McFly had that strong of a reaction to the word "chicken."
